General Notes: Husband - Edward Brady Wakefield


He was only three years old when his mother died, and went to live at the home of his grandfather, Jeremiah Wakefield, on whose farm he grew to manhood. He attended the local public school. Remaining at that place until his grandfather died, he then, at the age of twenty, went to Pittsburgh, where he found employment with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, continuing with same for nine years, during which time he worked his way up from the position of fireman to that of locomotive engineer. After giving up railroading he worked in the store of J. G. McCrory for a period, and then started in business for himself at Young Wood, Westmoreland County, where he was engaged as a merchant for two years. Selling out in 1906 he became superintendent of the large estate of J. G. McCrory in Brush Valley township, Indiana County, which comprised fourteen hundred acres and included some of the oldest settled tracts in the township. Mr. McCrory spared no expense in the improvement of these farms, putting up modern dwelling houses, barns and other buildings, the construction of which were carried on under Mr. Wakefield's supervision. He also had entire charge of the farming, stock, etc.
He was a member of the Firemen's and Engineers' Association. In political connection he was a stanch member of the Republican party.
